VIVA GORE!
BAH BAH Bush!
Bush won't call to congratulate the first american to win the Nobel Peace Prize since 2002? If he won't call Gore, maybe he'll call Elvis ...
**Click on post title to see/hear Mark Knopfler "Calling Elvis"! DK Dogs Editors Note re Knopfler video: that was NOT us chasing the dancing girl even though it looks like fun; now if she had started the electric can opener, we'd be all over her**

Of course, I refer to Tony Fratto, WH spokesman, saying "of course the President is happy for Al Gore", but he "doesn't have any plans to call and congratulate him". Really! The first American to win the Nobel Peace Prize since 2002 & our petulant frat-boy prez cannot bring himself to put phone to ear. And now he has run off to hide at the ranch for the weekend. Bah!
Ahhhh I have just the picture to send you....of bush calling Gore..I am sending it right now....and Yahoo you posted ;-)
Picture Perfect, Enigma! That is exactly how he would call, if he would call, which he won't because his inborn sense of entitlement has made him pissy about recognizing achievements of others. It only took me an hour to figure out how to add the picture and some music!
Your doing good d.k., it takes time and you I feel have more time than me and a lot of others.
And your right, the Decider has decided that the Nobel Prize should have gone to him for spreading Democracy in the Middle East.
Oh yeah, thats right Satin don't give Nobel Prizes for Democracy.
God Bless.
LOL, Anon-Para: "Satan don't give Nobel Prizes for Democracy" -- but I bet he's got a nice hot seat reserved for pissant warpigs.
In a sense a call from Bush would be a step down anyway. Gore is riding high, & he'd have to ask Bush to "get offa his cloud."
I read an op ed piece that hit the nail on the head:
"Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, a well-known critic of Bush's policies, was awarded the prize in 2002. Shirin Ebadi, an Iranian activist, received it in 2003. The International Atomic Energy Agency and its Director Mohamed ElBaradei, who helped disprove the myth of the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, were awarded in 2005. This, coupled with 2005 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Harold Pinter's acceptance speech, makes the overall message consistent and unambiguous. These separate events are not only statements about who are the best contributors to peace in the world. As a whole, they say much more about who is the greatest enemy of peace.
Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" raised a question that this award has answered. The question was, to whom is this truth inconvenient? The Nobel committee has said it as clearly as they can. And in the process they have done millions of people on Earth a colossal favor by repeatedly giving Bush the slap in the face we all wish we could give him personally." - Carlos Arturo Serrano Gomez

Fran, I couldn't agree more. I keep thinking of their last phone call. In 2000 when Bush told Gore, "Jeb says we got Florida", Gore responded, "Your brother is not the final authority in this matter". I'm sure this rankled the little bush feathers so much, he then called Justice Scalia.
What a great song....and see you are figuring it all out the photos and even a great song...way to go...
thanks Enigma! You know I had a great teacher & inspirer. She runs a little nighthawk cafe. When she's not there spilling coffee, slinging hash & advice, spreading confidence & hope wherever she goes, she somehow finds time for Watergate Summer!
